OUTLOOK From cold weather and heavy snow to warm weather and heavy rain the weather continues to be interesting. The rivers fished well this last week with the shift in weather. They hit perfect levels and had nice colour. We saw good numbers of bulltrout on the Squamish and Steelhead reports were encouraging on the…
OUTLOOK We have no plans to sugar coat this one. For mere mortals this has not been the best fishing weather this week. We do have hope next week with warmer rainy weather coming. In this week’s report we will look at the Vedder and the Squamish and what to expect, more importantly what will…
OUTLOOK Go fishing now because winter is coming! That is the theme of this week’s report. We heard better steelhead reports from the Vedder this week, some solid reports front the Squamish and a few other fisheries were in good shape. The news this week is the weather on the horizon. In the next 2…
OUTLOOK Welcome to a new decade! We thank everyone for all their support in 2019 and we are excited for 2020! 2019 was one hell of an interesting fishing year. We saw considerable political and fisheries management issues with saltwater fisheries and the Upper Fraser Steelhead and salmon fisheries. We also had debatably some of…
It looks like another great forecast for winter river fishing. With rain yesterday and a little more today it should hold river levels and keep things from getting too low and clear. We have heard more reports of steelhead on the Chilliwack and egg fishing continues to be good on the Squamish and Stave. Check…
OUTLOOK We have a beautiful forecast coming into the weekend. When we say beautiful, it is not all sunshine and lollipops. We will be seeing some rain but for a winter fisherman it looks perfect. They are forecasting a bit of rain Thursday (as we are writing the report) with more to come on Friday and Saturday then…
OUTLOOK We are almost at Christmas, but the good river fishing weather keeps coming! This does not mean “nice” weather. It means classic West Coast rain, timed right before the days you want to go fishing. For the last month it seems as though we have been getting a bump of water Thursday, Friday, Saturday…
OUTLOOK As expected last week’s rain hit the river’s around the lower mainland hard but not quite as hard as we expected. If you were watching the weather, there were some excellent windows to get out fishing. The funny thing is we are looking at a very similar weather report this week. We are going…
OUTLOOK Nasty weather inbound?! We have a question mark here because the weather reports over the last 3 weeks have forecast bad weather multiple times but it really never came to pass. That said this one looks like a doozy and we expect it will be hard for the weatherman to get it wrong. We…
OUTLOOK We wish everyone a great Remembrance Day long weekend and once you have had time to pay your respects it looks like a good weekend to get out on the water! We will see a little rain on Saturday and that should help colour up the waters of our local rivers. This is a…
OUTLOOK We hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! Cold and clear is the forecast for the foreseeable future and that is going to change things up substantially for the river fisherman. Cold and clear is not ideal because you will see river levels drop and become very clear. This slows fish movement and…

OUTLOOK We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hope that you can get out for some fishing with the extra day off. The good news is the weather continues to be great for salmon fishing. That doesn’t mean warm dry weather. Good fall salmon weather means a mix of light to medium rainfall…
OUTLOOK We are in the first week of October and salmon season on the local river is in full swing. Reports across the board have been excellent and it looks as though the weather will cooperate for the weekend. We might see the “perfect storm” over the next 4-5 days and when we say that…
OUTLOOK The weather looks great for the upcoming weekend. We will get a touch of rain today and then it is clear skies right into next week. We could see some issues with clear water if it stays cold next week but as it stands, things look great for the weekend for our river anglers. On the…
OUTLOOK She’s Going to Rain! That’s the report. Actually, as we look at water levels right now it might not be the whole story. There is a ton of rain in the forecast but it has been downgraded from biblical levels to just heavy rain and with that downgrade you might see some windows of…
OUTLOOK The first week of September is in the books! This is a time of flux for anglers around Vancouver, both on the life front with work and school getting back to a fall routine but also on the fishing side of things. The major salmon runs of coho, chum and white chinook are either…
OUTLOOK It’s Friday and we’re back with another Friday Fishing Report and Video Outlook. The first big storm of September is coming! If the weather man is on his game there is a ton of rain hitting the coast over this weekend and this will probably blow out our local rivers. This will make fishing…
